Moments Series
I know it was wrong to run away from Landon that way, but I am so mortified. Not to mention, I have no idea how to tell him that I freaked out because I thought I saw my ex. I don’t know if I’m ready to open that can of worms. After getting a glass of water from the kitchen, more to have something to occupy my hands, I grab my purse that I dropped in the entryway in my haste to get away from Landon. That is when I notice his car is still parked at the curb. Taking a deep breath, I move closer to the front door and I can hear him talking to Gram, I never even noticed her sitting on the porch in my rush to get into the house.

A Modern Dilemma
Thirty minutes after our last fight, Lannie and I were driving south on California Interstate Highway 163 through Balboa Park. This is a beautiful stretch of two-lane highway that usually gives me a great deal of pleasure. For about four miles you travel through a lush subtropical jungle of ferns, eucalyptus trees, and grassy hillsides; it’s as if you have been transported to the Pacific Northwest; refreshing, to say the least. Not too far north, 163 is a typical six-lane freeway that clogs up like a fat man’s arteries during daily rush hours, but this four-mile stretch through Balboa Park, as you pass the zoo, is as beautiful as any highway on Lanai or Kauai. Local legend has it that JFK once deemed this section of Interstate 163: “the most beautiful highway in America.”

"Why it's Important to Answer Truthfuly, If you Must Answer At all"
S “ WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO ANSWER TRUTHFULLY, IF YOU MUST ANSWER AT ALL” I actually don’t know if the idea was to accuse for a set number of years unbroken. At times, it looks like that to me. Some other times, I wonder if they are conducting research and I happened to be key player on that project. Maybe, they were trying to find out whether if they stretched A to the maximum non-stop, it would eventually becomes C not even ‘B’. A logically, easily can become B if pulled towards B, but it needs to cover grounds to get to ‘C’.

Brief encounters in Bologna
Daytime drinking? I can handle that. Morning drinking? Yeah, I’m up for that as well, I thought as I made my way to an Irish pub smack in the middle of the Bologna’s student district. The pretext for my early morning drinking was the world cup being played a few time zones to the east but with my interest in football always having been somewhere between none and “is it over yet?” I soon found myself a bit tipsy and fairly bored.

She Hated Me Because I Wouldn't Hate Her
Her boyfriend falling in love with me was the last link that held back her devilish hatred. Eva and I were friends from the first day in college. For seven years, we were spending hours together, talking in person and on the phone. She was a year older and had an air of superiority about her. Now I know I felt some patronage chord in her attitude towards me. A simple village girl, I was shy and sensitive to every misfortune and any offender - easy prey for a person in need of dominance.
